Well, here's hoping you make it to Carmine, though the odds are a little long.
Ya a bit of a long shot at this point Don, but it's cool the campaign was great and the support amazing.............Carmine will happen, one way or another  ;)

I had these all out for pics, stuff from the last week so I popped off a quick image, also ever since Tom's rundown on the Army/Navy 1981 Repo it's been on my list......finally got one, very beautifully done, just giddy to have it in my collection :)

What is that DMC deck?

It's Drummond Money-Coutts latest deck release, the Great Whites and Sharks were his previous decks.  :)

We are talking about digital photo's of product that Anthony does not design, sell or manufacture. We are NOT talking about cars, which have an associated cost to make.

Interesting

One last comment, this situation is based on what I believe to be right or wrong, now you may not agree with me on it, but that's what makes us who we are. We all have opinions. I equate it to the moral question "If a man steals to feed his children, is it stealing?" Yes, an extreme example, but you get my point. There is no overwhelming right answer to this question. Your last comment on what Alex may or may not do, and what Alex's friends may or may not do is your opinion. The last conversation I had with Alex we were both in a good place of mutual respect and , in Alex's words.....

"......I believe any bad situation can be turned into a good one! We can make the best of this by teaming up on something! Contests, prizes, whatever. I am always up to work on great things with awesome people who further the community. Together, everyone achieves more :)"

You may think my work is "Just a picture" and again, your entitled to your opinion, but you also don't know everything that was said and your making assumptions. Maybe your assumptions are right, and that's just fine. If I had to do it all again would I have done things differently? No. Would Alex have done things differently? ...........you would have to ask him.

Card Player I do what I do for myself and for other card fans, to give them a better look at a deck before they buy it, and give "MY" opinion of what I thought of the deck. I don't consider myself a reviewer, I don't go out of my way to "Build" a following, I don't care how many people visit my site, it's there for those who do. But, as with anything, there are those who want to bend the rules when they can, and some feel the rules don't apply to them. I've said on numerous occasions...........Just ask, and I'm sure we'll figure something out.

You mentioned it's a two way street, yes it is, but not on my end only. Alex could have just as easily taken an alternate "Street", but he chose not to. What's done is done, I believe I acted professionally in my communication and the direction of this situation wasn't dictated by me. With that being said, everyone is going to have their own opinion of how this was handled and that's perfectly OK, but I would always urge to base your opinions on facts and not assumptions. But I'm glad that since this has happened more people are contacting me and "asking" if they can use an image, or have been "Bartered" for my services and I don't think that's too much to ask, and I'm positive those who have dealt with me are more than happy with the arrangements offered. You should have pride in what you do and stand up for what you believe is right.

@Hank.....eBay is the same thing, and I can't begin to tell you how many messages I send out to pull down my images. I don't know when people started thinking that as long as the watermark is there it's OK. The simple rule to my images is not to use them for monetary gain without permission or some sort of arrangement. The sad part is that it falls on the artist to police his work, and nobody can be everywhere. Just because you get away with it doesn't make it right.

For the record Alex did pay the invoice sent to him and did apologize, I'm not going to publish the last conversation we had because there is no point to it now. But I really want to stress that this was not about money, Alex just happen to be the proverbial "Straw" that broke the Camels back. That being said, all of this could have gone a completely different way from the 1st response. I've since added a new page to my site explaining "Image Usage" for those who aren't sure.

Common courtesy goes a long way.

Hey all, thanks for all the kind words and support, we're almost at our goal. Currently sitting at 95%, please keep sharing the project with others and if you haven't taken a look at Viridian yet, take a peek and see if it appeals to you and pick up a deck or two. Let's see if we can spend the second half of the campaign chasing Carmine :)

Calaveras by Chris Ovdiyenko. They're prints from the original woodcut plates used to create the deck. Both prints are numbered '2' aswell - presuming Chris kept the number 1's in each set makes these pretty special  :D

I knew I saw those somewhere ;)

Nice part of your collection Magaski, Gratz!

They look great Zenneth, can't wait to get them........and photograph them :)

In regards to this situation, Alex and I have come to an agreement over the issue at hand

Thanks for all the info Brian,

I'm curious though, with the sale that The Blue Crown used my image in being a 24 hour sale only sent to subscribed members, it went down because of the sale and not because of my actions. So once again it falls on the image owner to police and go the extreme extra mile, when TBC can play the odds and walk away clean. My invoice to Mr. Pandrea is in line with what registration would have cost, so it's not like I'm trying to extort large sums from him. Governing laws aside and with the laws of common sense and respect from one person to another prevailing, Mr. Pandrea could have replied in so many different ways that would have not only avoided all of this, but we could have come to an agreement. It's important that people not just brush things like this aside, it's not about the money, it's about common courtesy and respect.

Thanks for sharing Rob and your support, the most meaningless part of this situation is money, this isn't about money really, this is about 1. The Law, and 2. Common courtesy to an artist and his work, regardless of the type of artist you are. I've given permission to so many to use my images for just a photo credit, but you need to step up and ask first. This was kind of the straw that broke the camels back, and now it's time to take some kind of action.
